- The 1958 NFL Championship Game was a game of first. It was the first nationally televised game and the first overtime game in NFL history.
Amazing watching footage in color hd
It is...but that field looked better in black & white lol...that was just all dirt and mud
I know Right!!!
Unitas called his own plays and made his own game plan. He was not protected from late hits by any rule. His receivers did not wear "sticky gloves. His receivers were not protected by rules against contact by defenders. You can't say that about ANY QB of the last 35 or so years. The game has been cheapened.
Exactly!!! Pull him by the back of his jersey?..."HORSE COLLAR!!!" No wonder the guys who played in the 1940's & 50's laugh at this brand of "football" today!!!
Bullshit.
Sure. fuckers had less safety.
Doesn't mean their tough.
Actually safety measures are actually makes the game tougher and dangerous the more they know that their cushioned the harder they go at each other.
They know they can just rely on rehab these days hence they push harder more.
Without question
@@4th19th2 the point is, those physical attacks on quarterbacks are now PENALIZED severely and are not permitted....but they WERE legal 50 years ago....Unitas DID call his own plays, and make his own game plan...NO quarterback does that NOW.....his receivers did NOT wear "sticky gloves"....But receivers NOW do !....the NFL rules then did not openly FAVOR the OFFENSE as they do NOW, in every possible way.....football now is like pro-wrestling.....very HYPED and manipulated to favor passing....it was NOT so 50+ years ago
well said...it is becoming touch football . Compare it with English football (soccer) ; I am becoming a fan .
amazing fact:: tom landry was the defensive coordinator and vince lombardi was the offensive coordinator for the giants this year.
True!!!
@@adamdorgant9454 even more amazing. They both ended up going against one another in the ice bowl I think.
@@FreshPrincex4 Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!
@@FreshPrincex4yup the ice bowl
I've seen this clip many times, I keep coming back to it and honestly Unitas, I don't care if it was football or a military man in a world war, this guy was something else. An incomparable leader of men, tremendous guts, simply ice cold fearless! So glad I was keeping up with football when he was playing. Toughest QB that ever played the game, NO ONE IS IN HIS LEAGUE!!!
Unitis had the quickest release I've ever seen.
“Unitas gives to Ameche, THE COLTS ARE THE WORLD CHAMPIONS” Great legendary call
Watch Johnny Unitas after Amichi scores. (a different film) The greatest game ever played ... the greatest play in that game ... winning the NFL championship ... and Unitas walks off like, "Ho hum ... just another day at the office." Amazing ... nerves of steel.
Jim O'Brien, I know exactly the video you're talking about and I've tried to find it. IT WAS AMAZING the way Unitas walked away after the handoff to Ameche as I guess through the corner of his vision he knew that Ameche was going to score, so he simply walked towards the bench like it was nothing. Unitas acted like how I wish today's players would! He was something else, he showed "humble sportsmanship," which of course today is, "laugh at the opponent sportsmanship!"
Players from this era was of a different breed. Respect for your opponent even if you hated him ! It started to change with Joe Namath arrival in pro football. Unitas walking off the field impressive beyond belief ! Players today wouldn't understand.
My grandpa played with Alan Ameche in high school
The Greatest Game Ever Played. The 1958 NFL Championship Game Between The Baltimore Colts And The New York Football Giants Paved The Way For The First Modern Overtime Game In Super Bowl History In Super Bowl 51 Between The Atlanta Falcons And The New England Patriots In 2017
Johnny Unitas' record for passing yards stood for many years which tells you how good he was.
yes, and his record was broken only because the season is now 17 games and not 12, and also because all the rules were changed to protect QBs and receivers and make it much easier to complete passes....and now receivers even WEAR GOVES!!!!
@@essessessesqActually Fran Tarkenton was the first guy who topped Unitas’ career totals, and he didn’t play a 16 game season until the last year of his career, but point taken.
I was there (14 years old) with my brother (10 years old) and my uncle Frank who took us to the game at Yankee Stadium. We had $5.00 standing and room only tickets so you had to go about two hours early to get a good place to stand. We stood behind the seats on the second deck and were close to the 50 yard line. It was very cold in the 20's and 30's and you had to be out for about 5-6 hours to see the whole game. Needless to say we were frozen by the games end. We were rabid Giants fans and were most disappointed by the result. A truly exciting game especially for a couple of kids. I still have the $ 0.50 game program. Ahhh, the nostalgia!
My great grandad played in this game! He was #45 of the Giants!
+The Persian Atheist wtf is wrong with you?
Your great granddad was Emlen Tunnell?
really? my grandparents lived in the same neighborhood in towson md as alot of the colts players and went to the same church our lady of immaculate conception, my grandpa got absoultely smashed with johnny when he redid his carpets after his divorce to his first wife Dorothy
Toffee Crust my grandpa played with Alan Ameche in high school
Is that Right?
My grandpas cousin played this game he was number 81 defensive
I watched this game on an old black and white tv.
0:38 that guy looks like hed make a great coach for the jets
Look at around the 3:40 mark and watch how Unitas just turns and walks away after Ameche scores. There's no stupid dances or selfie picture taking. This is how a leader is supposed to act!!!!! You don't have to throw it in the opponents face that they loss, they know it!
True!!!!
Greatest game ever played, period!!!
1:33 tiny uprights
We got this one and we got 2 Super Bowl 💍's
The Bonnar/Griffin of football
The only way a championship game would be better than this under today's rules is if the Super Bowl goes into overtime and either 1) Team A kicks a field goal only for Team B to score a touchdown or B) Team A and Team B both kick field goals and it's sudden death.
don't forget Graham did it 1950 vs the Rams, march the team to a last second win.
This was when men played pro football.
i dont understand y Jerry Richardson wasnt on there to talk about the championship. he made good plays during that game
This was basically the NFL's birth
In my opinion, the next most nailbiter game 2021 Buffalo Bills-Kansas City Chiefs Divisional Round playoff game, so much so the NFL modified, overtime, play-off rules.
This episode was shot in 2010 or 11, but that one is certainly one of the best since
Since this video dropped
2 Super Bowls have gone to OT
LI
NE-ATL
28-3
LVIII
SF-KC II
2021 AFC Divisional
BUF-KC
13 seconds in Kansas City
I think they could lay claim to best OT finish ever
Two weeks before this game was played, the 49ers beat the Colts at Kezar Stadium. Johnny U came off the bench in this came to replace George Shaw. My dad was at this game. Johnny U or Joe M. ? I love the niners, but I have to go with Jonny U. Plus his cameo on the Simpsons is all-time. "is my lip supposed to bleed?" Probably. Classic.
My mom's a Giants fan, always talks about this game
Props to the ref securing the game ball. High priced piece of memorabilia now lol
To be a Top 5 Clutch QB, you gotta have game winning drives in the Super Bowl/NFL Championship. I would have it Unitas, Brady, Montana, Elway, And probably Mahomes
Colts baby. LET'S GO!
The most important game ever,yes but greatest? Hell no!
1967 NFL championship game Green bay vs Dallas is my pick as #1
Played in - 13° at the start by the 3rd qtr it was -29° and it came down to the final seconds.
UNBELIEVABLE that men played a game under those conditions.
Al Ameche - Wisconsin Badger legend
Yeah, I'll bet Unitas didn't have any luxury of any penalties in his favor like how it is today! It was truly brutal the way defensive players got away with fouls back then. Of course it went both ways for both teams. Todays people in charge of the NFL makes it so that ALL TEAMS have a chance in making a comeback. That sounds great except it's not real, if a team is so dominant they should beat the hell out of another team and no made up rules should interfere with that, but that's truly and really what the NFL has done to pro football! It's the NFL's way of 'welfare!'
GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED
REAL FOOTBALL
Ah yes, THE GREATEST GAME EVER PLAYED.
Greatest QBs of All Time are #1 Johnny Unitas and #2 Tom Brady. Both won Super Bowls with come from behind over time
+Mike Youngblood Johnny Unitas won The 1958 NFL championship in overtime not a Super Bowl in overtime the Super Bowl did not exist until 1966.
@@TheSSUltimateGoku You’re correct…I should have said World Championships…
I was at this game

#1 Montana
#2 Brady (Soon to be Number 1 for me if he won the 8th Ring)
#3 Johnny Unitas
what was the colts qbs name?
The great Johnny Unitas
Nick Lawrence Johnny Unitas. The Greatest QB of All Time
Baltimore colts. Johnny U rejected being honoured by that man, bob irsay.
Kickers were much less reliable back then. The Colts opting to go for the TD was nothing special.
Actually the deal was Unitas called his own plays...he wanted to score a touchdown ..colts had a fine kicker...teams now would go for the field goal..Unitas
darthrevan6 In the regular season the Colts only made 5 out of 14 field goal attempts.
Sorry dude but the colts did not have a fine kicker. He couldn't kick worth a damn.
+Dan Hendrickson I mean the kicker did kick the game tie at the end of regulation to force overtime in the 1st place. So I think he would be fine.
Hi
This appears to be missing one to the most important plays of the game. With only two minutes to go in the game, the Giants only needed a first down to run out the clock. Gifford got the ball on third down and a yard to go. The officials said he came up short and the Giants had to punt the ball. The Colts tied it up and sent it into overtime. Gifford always maintained that he made the first down and the official made a mistake in where he put the down, causing Giff to be short. Gifford also said the ref came up to him after the game and admitted his mistake and apologized. Did Giff make that first down? We'll never know. But it was the turning point of the game.
ESPN for the 50th anniversary of the game did a special. Analyzed the film and said he actually was short on the first down. I guess impossible to know for sure, but there’s an argument for the other side.
@@kevinevans5921 I recently read a book about the game, and the Giants coach Jim Lee Howell is quoted in the book as saying he watched film of the game afterwards and said Giff came up short on the play. So maybe Giff was wrong. The only thing about the book that gives me any pause was that it was written by a Baltimore writer. I can't confirm anywhere if the ref came up to Giff after the game and apologized. Again, we'll never know but if Giff had converted the third down, but if he did, the NFL may not be what it is today. That overtime really changed things.
@@kevinevans5921 If you ever see the ESPN show being repeated, please let me know. I'd love to see it. And I'm a Giants' fan.
@@howie9751 will do if I can find the link on CZcams I’ll send it
@@kevinevans5921 Thank you. A pleasure talking to you.
Best Overtime game I saw was Miami and San Diego, January fourth 1982. 41-38. Miami lost.
What's the song at 1:51?
What happened to that clown who stole the ball from Amichi?
Nobody talks about being at the 10 and THROWING the ball!! None of this go for the FG BS. Now, everybody plays for a FG. Nobody has the balls to throw for a TD, when a FG will win the game. Don't bring up that Seahawks Super Bowl, that's different. They had to score a TD to win the game. This game, the BALTIMORE COLTS only needed a FG.
Peter King asks "What QB can drive the length of the field twice, on the road, to win the biggest game of his career?"
Tom fucking Brady, that's who.
ImHandsome Hes never done that
yes he did
mooiemooface yes he did
Alberto Armondo god you damn Brady fanboys are ridiculous
yeah, but johnny u did it first.
